To the west, the suburb is bordered by a line running from Murray Street along View Street and continuing north to Grange Road.

There is only one institution in the suburb, the former Mitcham Primary School, which is now a Community Centre.

There are no surviving shops in commercial use, there is a Guild Hall on Wattle Street, and there is the Mitcham Railway Station.

There is a small sports (tennis) centre on Denman Terrace.

Many of the homes were built in the 1920s in the California Bungalow style.
